    Drian. French. (1885-1961).

    Born Adrien Desiré Étienne, into a peasant family in Lorraine, he showed talent at an early age. When he went to Paris to study at the Académie Julian, he took the pseudonym Drian - his own first name, as his contemporaries heard it in his slurred Lorrain accent. He is often listed as Adrien Drian or Étienne Drian.
